Pet rabbits found dumped in recycle bin in Winton

TWO baby rabbits have been found after being dumped in a household electricals recycling bin in Winton.

Dave Bedford, 59, from Southbourne, was at work for W&M, when he unlocked the bin, situated in the recycling bank on Cranmer Road, before it was
emptied into the lorry, at around noon last Monday.

To his surprise, at the bottom of the bin were two six to eight-week-old grey and white coloured bunnies.

He immediately phoned his boss and then called his wife, Lyn, 57, to bring a box to take them to the vets.

Lyn, a care assistant, said: “It frightened him because Dave wasn’t expecting some little eyes to be staring back at him.

“The bins are the type that you just post the electrical item through rather than lift the lid, so the person would have known what they were doing and the rabbits could only be rescued by someone
with a key.

“They were absolutely covered with fleas and looked distressed and very nervous.

“No animal should have that done to them.

“Even if the owners were desperate, they should have dumped them at a rescue centre or vets, which I know are all full at the moment but it’s better than leaving them to meet their fate.”

The bunnies are now being temporarily looked after by Fiona Prentice, who works for the Ark Aid Veterinary Surgery, where the rabbits were taken, before they are well enough to be re-homed.

Fiona said: “They were hungry and are very bony and covered top to bottom in cat fleas. What people don’t realise is that the fleas can transmit myxomatosis, and I doubt that these rabbits have
been vaccinated against it.

“They are both boys, and I believe that they are French lop rabbits, although I can’t tell until they are a bit older.

“I’m looking to rehome them rather than find their original owners, as quite honestly, they should be locked up.

“I have 11 rabbits to look after at the moment because all the rescue centres are full and this kind of thing is getting more and more common.

“However, it still shocks me now, every time one of these kind of stories surfaces.”

words fail me-when will people realise that having a pet is a major commitment , it's not like buying a soft toy - personally I would like to see anyone who owns any sort of pet having to have a licence and that pet being microchipped so this barbaric action results in prosecution.

How dare you, you are as bad as the people that posted these poor little animals into the bank. No one knows how long they were in there. The poor things were absolutely traumatised, and it was a miracle that they werent hurt considering the METAL appliances that had also been posted into the bank. Lets just hope that they can go on to live happy lives with someone who loves them. The cruelty of animals is appalling and unfortunately seems to be getting worst

These two rabbits were somebody's pets. They are not suited to the English weather enviroment, and also their species does not exist in the wild in this country. A reponsible owner on not wishing to care for them any more would have either advertised that they had them to pass on free to a person wishing to own them or handed them over to the R.S.P.C.A. for them to try and attempt the same. Animal neglect and mis-treatment is for too common
in many countries of the world including Canada, where I live, perhaps a much enhanced penalties system everywhere for crime which has been too lightly treated may prove a partial answer.

I think the writer is refering to the health services which by being funded on the most part by the federal government in both England and Canada has proved to be very much more cost efficient then the private health care systems in the U.S.A. and elsewhere. The Conservative government here in Canada, and possibly in England, is inclined towards privatisation in hopes
of securing vast profits for new medical corporations run by it's supporters, as in the U.S., by Republicans. I think both countries should look at Japan, where their health care expenditure is only half ours, yet with a slightly older population then either of our countries, people still live as long as we do here. A full four more years than the average U.S. resident.

Wrong. "It's wherefore are thou". It's not meant to mean "who are you?", the actual meaning of the line was Juliet asking why off all the families, Romeo had to be a member of his, who were enemies of Juliet's family.

"Grow a pear". Sorry, it's the wrong time of year.

No, the comments would have been the same; children don't belong in the recycle bin either.

For heaven's sake, has the national sense of humour been legislated out of existence by the Elf 'n' Safety mob?

I love all animals and I especially love bunny's. And I can not believe that a person would do such a thing as put two hopeless little bunny's in a recycling bin! who ever those people are they should be put in jail! Thank you so much Fiona for helping those little bunny's! :)
